Though Jesus ratifies every one of the Ten Commandments - imposing their spirit over the letter, we do not find Him doing the same for the 603 OTHER components of the Mosaic Law.

As far as I can tell, the Sabbath Commandment is the only one of the Ten Commandments never repeated in the New Testament.

The Sabbath was the sign of the Mosaic Covenant. (Exodus 31:12-18)

Cordially,

Christ called himself “The Lord of the Sabbath” and in him is our final rest. The specific command to observe the Sabbath is not found in the NT because the Lord of the Sabbath has called us to himself. In him is our true Sabbath hope. The Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath and the Lord of the Sabbath poured out his life for us so that we our selves become fountains of blessing for one another and for the world.

To truly observe the Sabbath is to obey the two greatest commandments...to Love God with all that we can muster:, heart, soul, strength, and mind and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Hebrews says that we have not come to Mount Sinai, where there is gloom smoke and fire but we have come to Mount Zion. As it also says in Hebrews...”there is yet a final rest for the people of God.” The Sabbath is much more a day or custom to keep, but it is also part of the state of our being that we have in Christ Jesus. He is the Lord of the Sabbath and he has said “Abide in me for I am the Vine and you are the branches” so as we abide in him, we partake of His Sabbath perpetually!

The Sabbath was universally kept by all who claimed to believe until the Council of Lao DiCea, in 364 AD.

If you love him, you keep his commandments, as he demanded, and as John repeated in his first epistle.
